OldSkool D3DX Demo by Oxygene [web]
Old skool Demo second edition ! ------------------------------- This screen is part of the Leonard Homepage. http://leonard.oxg.free.fr These time you're all bored with classical PC demos. You want to come back to roots. This little D3DX demo is for you ! :-) Technical features of this second edition: - All was re-written in a *tiny* way ! No standard library, so EXE is very short ! - Use native DirectX8 instead of D3DX Library (to gain more EXE space !) - Use a "tiny" version of my ST-Sound emulator (ATARI-ST Music emulator) - Use a "Tiny" version of my DirectSound server. - Data are now included in the EXE. - EXE nice icon added So all EXE + Data are now 24Kb long !!! Do you think it's possible under Windows ? :-) Maybe I'll post an article about how to write *little* DirectX8 EXE ! Required: Windows 9x/2000 with DirectX 8.0 or better A cheap 3d card (Voodoo 1 is enough !) A sound card Keys: ESC or ALT-F4: quit the demo w: Wire-frame view p: pause (to look at the wonderfull sprite !) Notes: Please notice the music uses my own YM2149 SoundChip emulator engine. Troubleshootings: This is a "DirectX" program so, as always, it does not run the same on all machine ! If you experiment a very low frame rate, maybe you're in software mode. Try to set your desktop to various bpp (16,24 and 32) and please report me ! (arnaud.carre@freesurf.fr) It works perfectly on my Voodoo Banshee, but you MUST set the desktop in 16bpp with such video card. Credits: All code and YM2149 SoundChip emulator by Leonard / OXYGENE (Get the latest ST-Sound on my web page) Music by Big Alec/DeltaForce, orignal tune compo by Matt Gray (C64) *Very old* 7 colors logo by Mon / OXYGENE (maybe 9 years ago ! :-)) Greetings: How to spread a old-fashioned demo without greetings ? They are send to: Other Oxygene members (Lester, Mon, Oxbab, Spiral) Mr.Bee, Ben, Jess, MCoder, Ziggy Stardust, Dim, Keops, Starlion, Zappy, Klaudius, Clafou And of course TCB and TEX ! :-) Have a nice day !
